    You paid $4,000.00 for a service and they don't have the staff to provide that quality service … "very few" people pass the first time … that doesn't sound like a good school or a good value. I'd be looking for more time/help or my money back!

    IMO, that is shameful on their part. Hooking a trailer is obviously a fundamental in trucking an you shouldn't have to show up to a potential employer not knowing how. Go to a truck stop and offer a trucker a few bucks to at least demonstrate it for you.

    Everyone begs for more time. When they fail, they come back to the school and scream about not getting enough time. I'm not gonna do that. I offered to pay and I can't get more time :p

    That's a good idea. They're pretty upfront about how they aren't teaching you how to be a truck driver; they're just teaching you how to get your CDL. They tell you that the first day :p

    There's an outfit in Minneapolis that trains and gives you a job; First Transit is the name.
    Don't know if you're in the hiring area or any details, so call and ask.
    I think they drive all sizes of buses.

    Did they teach you to get your CDL, did you get it … did the vast majority of their "students" get their CDL? NO … what they are doing is dishonest and theft in my opinion!
